ok - completed.

The only unexpected thing was upon restart. It did not boot up normally. Instead it gave a bios type warning message:

- Time of day not set - please run SETUP program

- Invalid configuration information - Please run SETUP program

So - I ran bios setup and managed to get to the place to change the time, applied the change, then it booted normally (typing from there now).

Not at all difficult, finishing in perhaps 15 minutes including the bios deal...

Same thing happened to me and fortunately Dell makes it really easy to get to the clock. Didn't have any issues.

Thanks for bringing this up! I'll add a note in the conclusion for this.

After replacing the battery, my XPS 9300 Ubuntu cannot find either HD or SSD. If you experience the same issue, it is because the default BIOS setting for RAID may be wrong. After losing power, it goes back to a wrong setting. So make sure you choose the right RAID setting after battery change.

How do you find the correct setting
